Nintendo has revealed that it has shifted 2.1 million Nintendo 2DS systems since the handheld launched October 12th. The Nintendo 3DS has shipped 42.7 million units since February 2011. The original Nintendo DS system has shipped a staggering 154 million units in total. Nintendo also revealed that it has sold 7.38 million copies of Animal Crossing: New Leaf worldwide. This is since its Japanese release in November 2012.
that’s a huge sell
I want to by a 2 or 3 DS so I could play link between worlds and animal crossing, but I don’t have money because of the wiiu.
i love the 3ds but get the 2ds its cheaper and you wont miss the 3d so its the same system but no 3d.
I would, I never turn the 3d off, it’s half the graphics. Some games look butt ugly when 3d is turned off.
I always play with 3D off and I think it makes games look much better. 3D really doesn’t “do” anything. I don’t get why people think it’s a big deal and feel the need to use it. It’s pretty pointless.
3D or not 3DS games are goddamn amazing, though.
This.
Agreed, 3D adds Nothing to the experience. I never play with it on anymore, it’s just not worth it
I know this is your opinion but you’re wrong when you say the 3D doesn’t do anything. It obviously does when many of the people who use the 3DS always keep the 3d on.
Doomed. The 2ds will out sell the wii u this year.
so?
i’m sure 3-ply toilet paper will also outsell the wii u this year however neither is of any relevance
so is your opinion
so are the facts
what does it matter to the wii u as a system how much a handheld device sells?
Lol I’m using this logic whenever I hear about the ps4 sales being better.
good point and yet sad its already sold about half of what the wiiu did. But if people really played the wiiu they would love it. I can play on the game pad in my bedroom while other are playing the ps3 or watching tv. And the web browser is fast and works the best over 3ds,vita, 360 or ps3. dont know how well the ps4 or xbox 1 browers do
well i can tell you this much about surfing on the XBO and PS4: entering URLs or login info is a PITA
naturally so is navigating web pages
WELL DONEANIMAL CROSSING! even though I hate(or any life sim aprt from SimCity and……smash.(lol….life for me. too many universes came together!) that game but WELL DONE!
I like the 2DS, it looks bad from the outside, but when you get your hands on it, feels so comfortable and cool! :D
They say its catered for kids, that’s bullshit because I bought one just for the design. Plus it was cheap
I don’t know why people think it looks bad… it literally looks like a 3DS, but their is no space in the center where a clam shall design would be…
It’s also wedge shaped, but who judges a console’s appearance from it’s side view?…not to mention a wedge isn’t exactly an “ugly” shape.
Join our empire!
ok I think ur obssessd. about war and that ninetndo is best(true that :P ) and star wars/star trek.
Nintendo is all about fun so I’m having fun…
*wink*

Let’s go squash some Xbots commander.
Det, var. fandens EPISK!
This is our next step…
We must move quickly. The Xbots are relentless. If they are not all destroyed, it will be civil war without end. First, I want you to go to the Xbot frat house. We will catch them off balance. Do what must be done, Nintendo commander. Do not hesitate. Show no mercy. Only then will you be strong enough with the 3DS to save Nintendos voldtekts maskin.
Good, Good… And the Xbot rebellion has been foiled, Once more Nintendo will rule the game industry!
That was my female form by the way…
The sexist Xbots were none the wiser, an ingenious plan to make them feel secure, well done Commander! For as we know Xbots are sexist cave dwellers who see women as objects. They paid the price for their ignorance.
Indeed…
How about at your end?…
We must show those Breivik Xbots how not to play games!
I have managed to convert over twenty Xbots to our cause, the rest were… discreetly dealt with. Those who survived fleed to sonyans for support, they were given none.
Commander We need help in UK the xbots are destroying us!
High Command is ready to send support to the UK area…
Bring us donkey kong and mario kart as quick as you can!
xl is the best anyway .
I would have to agree, I love my xl. Now I just gotta get more games for it.
Same, I just love my Pokemon Y 3DS XL…
haha I lovemy Zelda XL. best console I ever owend.
XL is pretty amazing…. I can’t go back to my 3DS, because I realized how small it really was lololol!
Pingback: Nintendo 2DS - 4 Ich hab mir den 2DS - Forumla.de
Oh 2DS, I loathe you so much. Die in a hole.
XL all the way. After I upgraded to XL I looked at the inventory screen on my friend’s original 3DS and it seemed so tiny. I don’t know how people put up with it.
You love the 2DS? (Duck Dodgers joke) I agree as well, I tried the 3ds at some store and holy damn is it tiny.
I want to get an XL, I still have an original 3DS from launch, lol. The only issue I have with the 3DS XL is that is has the same resolution despite having a larger screen, doesn’t that mean that the sceen is very pixelated?
im a owner of xl and used to have 3ds TRUST me it makes literally no difference! everything is much better, literally, everything,. the sound, look, feel, 3d effect, everything.
And the 3D is just what it’s supposed to be…
yes. the biggest problem with it is that yiu can see the bottom screen and circle thing at the top after a while and you can see the fingerprints so much. xl much better anyway. sold the most also.
The only small problem I have with it is that sometimes you can see a double image…
that happens to me. I think I got double vision………..or because I have bad eyesight. happens rarly with xl. I need glasses anyway and then it would be normal. I don’t mind.
is called lazy eye
you easily get used to it. first time I upraded to xl it was huge,. then I looked at 3ds after a few days of having xl and it really is tiny.
Same…
I was like, how on earth did I even draw on Colors 3D! before?…
Saying Nintendo is doomed is stupid. It’s the Wii U that’s doing poorly, and even that’s not a guaranteed failure yet.
LE LE DAE NINTENDO DOOMED DAE???? XD XD LOL
Reblogged this on Curiosidades na internet.
Can’t wait for Animal Crossing U!
i hope we can actually be an animal in it! ^.^
If there is a scorpion like one then yes…
i think the point of the game is being the only human, but I agree
I want to be a fucking penguin
out of context but I used to think king dedede was a duck……………………………………………………………………………XD!
in fact, King Dedede has not “race”
he resembles a penguin, but no
OLD NEWS WE KNEW IT SINCE THE INVESTORS MEETING
I didn’t.
Wah, great news, really sure the 3DS will outsell the DS somewhere near the future, just keep bringing the quality games!
SICKR
Your article is weird. Can you please elaborate on such a vague article.
Granted, this is great that they sold so many, but what does this mean for Nintendo?
Can these sales improve Nintendo’s standing in the gaming console arena?
With these sales of 2ds, do you feel the console is viable for consumers? Important to have?
Does the sales of AC:New Leaf mean the game should be imported to Wii U to improve console sales, since the sales are so dramatic on the 3/2DS?
What about Pokemon?
I have more questions… but… lets start small.
pokemon is over 10 million.
A single game outselling PS Vita… and that’s not even the best-seller!
RIP Vita
Pokemon a great game!
who is this ‘Nintendo Commander’ tit? he already said he doesnt have a wii u so by my calculations he is part of the problem that nintendo is currently having, if ur a fan, support the system, theres already enough games out on it to justify the purchase. Jesus hes on here spewing garbage every article about ‘high command’ sounding like a fucking nutcase and he doesnt even have the system?????
I hope Nintendo realize SSB U needs online that works.
You really make it appear so easy along with your presentation however I in finding this topic to be actually something that I believe I would by no means understand. It seems too complex and very vast for me. I am taking a look forward on your subsequent publish, I’ll attempt to get the hang of it!
